Most parents are always on at there kids for not reading these days, apparently we all spend to much time on the internet. Well I have to disagree I think I read more than my parents did at my age. This is because I read hundreds of articles through my RSS reader, yes I don’t read all of them, but I read about 20 articles roughly and that is more words than my parents read a day in there books. When you actually think about it the amount we read and write on the computer is huge, there are chat clients were we chat in text and read. On Facebook we read and write on each others wall and right now I am writing this blog post and you are reading it! and Yet I am still forced to read the oldest and most boring books in English, when I already do more reading than my parents. I personally find it hard for something to get my attention for a long time so siting looking at static page of a book is boring for me while having a continuously changing screen keeps me interested. The Blogoshpere is full of 13-17 year old bloggers that read and write thousands of words a day. twitter is a great example we are getting continuous bits of information in text form to read, so really we must be the best generation at reading and writing.
